[MI-ABS] Project R. E. C. Update

[Robert Earl Parsons]

Howdy Michigan Students!

It's the president of the Chunkies here providing an update on the official fundraiser of the National Federation of the Blind of Michigan! Our form of promoting Blind Equality Achievement Month (BEAM) includes a virtual fundraiser to create funds for our part in the creation of an affiliate-wide goalball league, the creation of our statewide Sports and Recreation division, and future projects! Our four team owners have been hard at work spreading the word and looking for virtual pledges and electronic donations for their respective teams. Below are the current rankings of donations received:

  1.  The Chunky Chargers - Robert Parsons (10 Shares| $50)
  2.  The Sparks - Jennifer Kennedy (2 Shares| $10)
  3.  The Navigators-Kashonia Graham/ The marauders - Mike Powell (0 Shares)
Remember, it is not too late for you to get in on the action. Our four team owners are looking for support either through help with sharing this link and fundraiser or by donating and pledging support. Remember, pledges are $5, you can donate to more than one team if you'd like, and you can donate more than once if you'd like. Finally, be sure to share the link below with the pledge form. After you've submitted a pledge, visit www.nfbmi/org<http://www.nfbmi/org> and use the donate button to submit your donation.
